Ayanbadejo also added: "18-1", a reference to the 2007 Patriots, who were undefeated prior to a Super Bowl loss to the Giants.

The 36-year-old Ayanbadejo was a member of last year's Ravens team that dropped a heartbreaking 23-20 AFC title game to the Patriots. Baltimore picked off Tom Brady twice in that contest. Ayanbadejo had two tackles in that game, while seeing limited action.

Ayanbadejo apologized for his tweets on Monday morning, offering the following:

I made selfish comments on twitter last night that reflected poorly upon myself, my teammates, and the organization. For that I apologize.
